Hi Everyone

I’ve just bought a 1996 420GSI Tourer in charcoal grey with the lovely wood/leather/Stratstone fabric interior. It’s done 90,000 miles with full service history and has been sitting on a friend’s drive for nearly 2 years. It needs some TLC but is a solid car with only 4 small rust spots on the bodywork. It has some (too big) MG Z alloys and tyres which run the inner arches on full lock. I do like how they look though. It’s gone for an MOT today - sadly it failed but on expected items - handbrake adjustment, an oil leak (Cam cover gasket, it looks like - hope we can get a replacement) and it’s just over on emissions - service will help it sneak under.

I drove it for the first time today and it’s smashing, no slack in steering or suspension and that engine pulls like a train! Feels like a 20,000 mile car!

The car joins my 1981 XR3 (6 year restoration completed 5 years ago) and a Mercedes 420SE (1990 S-Class) which I’m a year off finishing.

Anyway, hope to meet done of you soon and show you my (improving) tourer - there will shortly be 15 of them on “how many left”!

How do you add photos?

John will be by with the sticky link shortly but in short you need to host the image externally and copy the link here.

Welcome! Where in Leeds are you? I’m near Leeds in Wakefield!

I’m in North Leeds near Wetherby so pretty good for travel to Wakefield!

Thanks re the links. No idea how to just pictures somewhere and get the links - may ask someone if they’ll bung them up if I email them!!

If you fancy a meet up and hello, give me a shout!

Be great to meet anyone local and have a good nosey at their 200/400! I’m having an op in late august and need to isolate from 10 days before so September probably best for me for any meet ups.

Paul - I see you used to have a 420GSI tourer - what happen to that one?

First attempt with Flickr.

Hopefully a picture of my lovely Rover!

Hi Matthew and welcome to the Club. Nice car.
